The Midlands has a dense network of construction, groundworks and plant hire activity spread across Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham and Derby, linked by a motorway network that makes most of the region quick to reach. We move plant and machinery up to 3.5 t gross on a twin-axle trailer with ramps, one driver door-to-door, handling everything from a single mini digger to coordinated moves for a hire fleet.
Where we collect and deliver in the Midlands
Typical jobs across the region include:
- Birmingham and the Black Country, including inner-city groundworks sites
- Coventry and Warwickshire construction sites
- Leicester and the wider East Midlands
- Nottingham and Derby, including hire depot collections and returns
- Machinery auction sites across the region
- Industrial estates and hire fleet depots along the M1, M6 and M42 corridors
See areas we cover for the wider picture across the Midlands and beyond.
Hire fleets, auctions and motorway access in the Midlands
The M1, M6 and M42 put most of the Midlands within easy reach for a single trip, which makes the region well suited to hire fleet work — collecting several machines from a depot for delivery to different sites, or moving equipment back into the fleet at the end of a hire period. Machinery auctions across the region add another regular source of jobs, usually on a tighter collection deadline than a standard hire move. Inner-city sites in Birmingham and Coventry can bring the same access constraints as any other city centre, so we plan those legs of a job as carefully as the motorway sections. Industrial estates on the edge of Nottingham and Derby, where a lot of the region’s hire depots and dealers are based, are usually straightforward for a car and trailer, but we still confirm loading bay access and any site induction requirements before arriving.
How much does plant and machinery transport in the Midlands cost?
Local moves within the Midlands typically start from around £150; longer runs are quoted per mile. Price depends on distance, the size and weight of the machine, access at both ends, and whether the job is a single collection or a coordinated multi-drop fleet move. A short hop between two depots on the same industrial estate sits at the lower end of the scale, while a cross-region multi-drop run with several unloading points naturally costs more to plan and run. Every quote is all-in, covering fuel, tolls and loading.
